Not much knitting or motorcycling news here, although I have started some Baby Bib O' Love's for a good friend's pending arrival. My cycling classes are on hold until the strike is over, and looking more like it will not be until the spring.
Two weeks ago we received news on DD1's status in her on-going fight to over-come Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Sometime in October she will begin the 1st of 3 rounds of high intensity chemo in preparation for a autologous bone marrow transplant.
This has left us scrambling for tissues, taking a deep breathe and making plans to provide the extensive care she will need. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Knit on....

just checkin' in...
Not much going on around here. Work is, well, work - never ending, dull, blah, blah, blah... but it pays the bills and fills part of the day.
After work, well, not much else as the drive test folks have not yet settled their strike issues and I am still not able to write my M1 license. That means I have to push out my motorcycle classes by another week! Bummer...
In the mean time, I'm checking on on these folks: Sanna - that's a totally cool vest!!, and that Susan - who has a way cool husband Wayne - look what he has accomplished!!!
I finished my Shrug - as I thought might happen, my substitution calculations require more finessing, so while it fit me, it looked way, way better on DD2 (I'll edit in some pics later), and so she now has something warm to pull on when lounging in her new abode. Yup - she's gonner as of next month, heading off to room with pals, and try her hand at the whole independence thing. I fell better knowing I have have covered her from head to toes in woollie goodness, and hope it will keep her toasty warm while waiting at the bus stop during the nasty winter that I know is just around the corner.
That is all - oh, a pair of socks on the needles of course (doesn't everyone have a pair on the needles?). And now I'm pulling out all the baby stuff for a pending arrival later this fall (not mine, praise be!). Bibs of course, and I've got a charming baby kimono pattern, socks - for sure... and, oh yes, must do a carriage blanket I guess. I've got travelling time this weekend coming up, so must go up and raid the yarn stash to see what I've got that is portable.
